Welcome Fas! i know you arena a really rough place right now, and I am so sorry.

 

Curious how you came to having a CT?

Your body will need some time to heal..but it can heal. I'm now 6 months from a very rapid taper (plus other things), and I can honestly say I have had improvements. there is hope!

 

Do not lose heart..its tough right now bc your injured brain is trying to make sense of things and feels like its assaulting you in your thoughts and your body. Relief will happen.

Right now remind yourself that you are safe, and you are healing.

 

Do you have any supportive people in your life?

We're here when you need us. You're not alone.

Yes, do have family support. Recently hospitalized for depression and dr decreased Klonopin from 3mg day to 1 mg day. Horrible withdrawals but sticking with it. Not sure what next drop wii be but honestly not feeling stabilized after 2 weeks since change.
